A skillful EE-Undergrad-Major ASEer Davis Li explored different hardware parts of a keyboard-broken laptop (sometimes even having his eyes closed, c.f., the third and fourth pictures below), impressing much the advisor, who traditionally appreciated software more than hardware. Although the keyboard-broken laptop still remains keyboard-broken after Davis' skillful exploration, such exploration has demonstrated the versatile nature of our awesome ASEers!

Every year the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) brings outstanding computer science students from around the world together for several days of symposia talks, networking, and intensive computing competition at the ICPC World Finals.This year CS @ ILLINOIS will be sending three students to the world finals, held this year in Phuket, Thailand, May 15-20. One thing that stands out about this year’s Illinois team is that two of the three team members are freshmen. The team members are CS freshmen Lan Dao and Xin (“Victor”) Gao, and CS graduate student Siwakorn (PING!) Srisakaokul.We wish Ping and his team the best of luck! Go get them!
